 not a comment on the performance or recording, just the format, 2008-10-18
This is *not* a hybrid CD, just a plain SACD, which you can get 80% cheaper elsewhere.
 Three virtuosos under one roof!, 2008-03-24
Any one of these guitarists will stun you with their technique. Al Dimeola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucia are outstanding musicians who have produced some really good work individually. Put them all together under one roof for a night of jamming and you have one great concert recording.
Each of the players here has a unique style, so there's no real sense of things running together. Dimeola is a straight-charger with intense staccato flurries that defy transcription. McLaughlin employs both picked and legato runs, along with a great sense of timing. De Lucia's Spanish flamenco style is smooth and elegant. From start to finish, all three turn in top notch performances. Highly recommended for those who appreciate excellent guitar music.
Gotta hear this!, 2007-08-15
Whoever was there, at the concert, I soooo envy you!!! What an incredible thrill to hear those three play together! I purchased this recording back in the time when CDs were barely an option, and I still enjoy listening to it. It doesn't take a guitar afficionado, or a flamenco or jazz connoisseur to enjoy such music. A regular music lover, such as I, could totally appreciate what these three great guitarists created that night - three different music styles that jammed perfectly together.
Why, oh, why is this recording not available on CD anymore???
 Far Below Nothingness & Eternity , 2006-01-18
No no no!
JM's adventures in LA are misleading. Shakti's albums are amazing journeys, For the live album i pick Between Nothingness & Eternity.
Funny postcards, jammin' the pink panther's theme, but far - so far from Mahavishnu's best standards.

Seminal acoustic guitar masterpiece, 2005-11-21
The first time I heard this recording I thought it had been sped up in the mastering process. I simply couldn't imagine three musicians playing at such breakneck tempo's, plucking strings at such amazing divisions, and all of it with seeming effortlessness. In many respects this was the end of the fusion era. Dimeola has never again played with such intensity, Mclaughlin has never been so competitive, and Paco may have outshone them all. The fact that there is no professional recording on film of this concert is an extraordinary tragedy. This is the most mind blowing acoustic guitar playing ever...until....
Strunz and Farah's "Frontera", the absolute pinnacle of guitar brilliance and speed, followed by the even more astonishing "Guitarras". The Dimeola, Mclaughlin, DeLucia trio set the bar. It was broken in 1984 by Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah and THAT bar has yet to be broken.
